Sounds good. I'd like to see some mention of a reproducible example 
being required for non-trivial bugs (that is, bugs for which a list of 
"steps to reproduce" is not adequate due to the steps being too 
complex); either in the description field as a {code}snippet{code} or as 
an attachment.

Might not want to use all caps for the titles as well. ;p
